Relationship is defined according to Mariam Webster dictionary as the fact or state of having something in common, the state of having shared interest or efforts or the way in which two or more people or things are connected. Wao! We leverage on the wings of relationship to succeed. Relationships are to be nurtured. Should we allow anything to ruin our affinity with men? Definitely not. But what if something happens and it degenerates to conflict, how we handle it?
The wrong ways to handle/ resolve conflicts are;
- Stone walling (silent treatment/ response).
- Shifting blames.
- Vocal trashing.
- Escapist mentality.
- Hand in gloves.
The right ways to handle/ resolve conflicts are;
- Pray for God's intervention.
- Ask for God's wisdom.
- Address situations and not attack individuals.
- Avoid making absolute statements like "always" and "never".
- Accept responsibility for your own part.
- Believe the best of the intentions of other people.
- Be willing to make changes when and where necessary.
- Be willing to forgive and move past it.
The goal is to be focused on meeting needs, solve more problems, build more relationships, therefore always weigh your options in choice making.
